Stats and Snaps – 2025 Week 9, Commanders vs Seattle Seahawks

Stats and Snaps – 2025 Week 9, Commanders vs Seattle Seahawks

The Commanders’ Week 9 meeting with the Seattle Seahawk was a pivotal moment for their season. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, the game pivoted in the wrong direction.

Their third consecutive loss by three or more touchdowns brings their record to 3-6. To finish the season with a winning record, they will need six of the remaining eight games, which include matchups with four teams with five or more wins. The injuries to star QB Jayden Daniels, starting CB Marshon Lattimore and WR/KR Luke McCaffrey make that exceedingly unlikely.

While a few diehards, like Hogs Haven’s Bill in Bangkok, might hold...

Commanders fans agree on one thing at least — they’ve lost confidence in defensive coordinator Joe Whitt

Commanders fans agree on one thing at least — they’ve lost confidence in defensive coordinator Joe Whitt

There’s no doubt that, viewed through the constraints of just the 2025 season, the Commanders are headed in the wrong direction. The team is losing; injuries have piled up; the coaches don’t appear to have answers. The team appears to be flailing in its search for solutions to the many current problems.

But NFL teams are more than just beasts of the moment. They have lives that extend from one year to the next and across decades. That means that short term highs like the 2024 season, and short term lows like the 2025 season are woven into a greater...

Commanders vs Lions Friday Injury Report: Three players questionable

Commanders vs Lions Friday Injury Report: Three players questionable

The Washington Commanders held their third, and final, practice of the week as they prepare to host the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin were the only players ruled out this week. Daniels is out indefinitely after dislocating his elbow vs the Seahawks. He won’t need surgery and isn’t going to IR. The team will reevaluate him after the Week 12 bye. McLaurin reaggravated the quad injury that kept him out for a month, and he will be missing another game on Sunday. He could also be back after the Week 12 bye, but that hasn’t been...

Washington Commanders Injury Update: Jayden Daniels won’t need surgery or go to IR

Jayden Daniels suffered an ugly elbow dislocation in the 4th quarter of a blowout loss to the Seahawks two weeks ago. He planted his hand in the grass to brace himself while being tackled, and his elbow bent the wrong way. X-rays didn’t reveal any broken bones, and there was reportedly no ligament dame. Ian Rapoport said the injury isn’t as serious as originally anticipated, and Daniels won’t need surgery. He wasn’t placed on injured reserve when the Commanders shut down two other players injured vs the Seahawks. John Keim reports he’s just “feeling a little sore” and that’s one...

Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions Week 10: Five Questions with Pride of Detroit

Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions Week 10: Five Questions with Pride of Detroit

It’s week 10 of the NFL season, and the 3-6 Washington Commanders will be facing a 5-3 Detroit Lions team at home in Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD this Sunday at 4:25 pm ET. After rebounding from a very poor week 1 matchup against the Packers, the Lions have blown out most opponents this season, though they have hit a bit of a recent slump, having lost two of their most recent three games to the Chiefs and the Vikings.

On offense, the Lions are coached by HC Dan Campbell and OC John Morton. Morton served as Senior Offensive Assistant...

Practice notes | Joe Whitt Jr. explains decision to call plays from field

Washington’s defensive performances over the last month, particularly in the Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, “have not been up to the standard at all,” Whitt said. The unit, which had issues during the 2024 season but still managed to hold offenses at bay, has slipped in almost every metric in 2025, as it ranks near the bottom in average yards allowed per game (28th), passing defense (29th) and points allowed per game (22nd). They have also struggled to create...

Three Youthful Personnel Changes Moving Forward for the Commanders

Three Youthful Personnel Changes Moving Forward for the Commanders

With the Commanders coming off an abysmal Sunday night performance against Seattle and now riding a four-game losing streak (longest in Dan Quinn’s tenure), the Washington Commanders must make changes heading into a Week 10 matchup with Detroit.

At 3-6, the Commanders hold the oldest roster in the NFL and are now in a position to infuse the less proven, younger players into the roster while letting the older, “one-year rental” players see less reps. We’ve already seen this take place in the middle of the defense with second-year linebacker Jordan Magee stepping into a bigger role alongside Bobby Wagner....

Thinking about the Lions-Commanders game and what might’ve been

Thinking about the Lions-Commanders game and what might’ve been

Most weeks of this season, I have tried to post some kind of game preview article, usually based on statistical reviews of offensive & defensive rankings, turnover margins, common opponents and the like.

After three consecutive beatdowns at the hands of the Cowboys, Chiefs and Seahawks in games broadcast to all or most of the country, it seems futile to compare the metrics of the 3-6 Commanders with those of the 5-3 Lions. It’s not that the Lions are some sort of unstoppable juggernaut; it’s just that Washington has done very little right since Jayden Daniels dropped a slippery ball...

Commanders vs Lions Thursday Injury Report: Washington gets healthier for 2nd practice

The Washington Commanders held their second practice of the week as they prepare to host the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Dan Quinn talked to reporters yesterday and said the team would hold full contact practices all week coming off their fourth loss in a row.

Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin were the only players who didn’t practice today. Daniels is out indefinitely after dislocating his elbow vs the Seahawks. There should be more clarification tomorrow when Quinn talks to reporters. He said yesterday that they were meeting with team doctors to determine his recovery plan, and his projected return date....

Joe Whitt and Kliff Kingsbury talk about coaching on the sideline, explosive plays and the Lions

The Washington Commanders are preparing to host the Detroit Lions this week in a rematch of the NFL divisional playoffs earlier this year. The Commanders came into that game as visiting underdogs, and left Detroit with a big win on their way to the NFC Championship game. Washington are big underdogs again this time, but their season has been sliding out of control with four straight losses. The defense has been giving up explosive plays every week and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt knows there has to be some big changes, and his job depends on it.

Dan Quinn said that...
